Part 10

Master Colossus' Power Dive, Cyclops' Optic Blast, and Dan Hibiki's Saikyo-ryuu style with advanced techniques and combos in Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.

This section details advanced techniques and character-specific moves for Colossus, Cyclops, and Dan Hibiki in Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.

Colossus

Colossus' Power Dive can be controlled to extend combos. When performed on the ground or in the air, pressing d + P / K after a certain point allows Colossus to dive. This is particularly effective if the initial hit connects, allowing for an immediate follow-up dive for another hit, preventing the opponent from blocking or escaping. An example corner combo against Cable is: Standing HK, sj. uf + LP, LK, LK Power Tackle, Power Dive, d + P / K, dealing 96 damage.

The Super Armor Hyper Combo grants Colossus Hyper Armor for a limited time, making him resistant to most attacks. However, the armor can wear off unexpectedly. Colossus' standing HP, HK, and crouching HP can bypass Super Armor, causing opponents to enter hit stun.
